About
Dr. Yoichi Matsuo is a pioneering hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal surgeon whose work is redefining the boundaries of minimally invasive oncology. His primary research focuses on advancing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for complex liver, pancreatic, and colorectal surgeries. Dr. Matsuo’s most significant contribution is his work on the Glissonean pedicle isolation method, guided by the Laennec’s capsule, which has become a cornerstone for safe anatomical liver resections. He is also a leading authority on the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging, demonstrating its utility in assessing anastomotic blood flow during gastrectomy and ensuring surgical precision. With over 70 citations across his top ten papers, his impact is clear. Notably, he co-authored a landmark multicenter study on the safety of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy in Japan, involving 425 patients, which helped establish the procedure’s feasibility within the national health system. Dr. Matsuo is also recognized for innovative techniques in complex pelvic surgeries, such as combining rectal cancer resection with Retzius-sparing prostatectomy. His work consistently pushes the envelope, making high-risk procedures safer and more reproducible for the next generation of surgeons.
